Slippery St. Paul
Slippery St. Paul
Composer(s): Patrick Simmons
Performer(s): The Doobie Brothers
Down along the river, where the big bulrushes grow
you find the old frog jump in the water
He won't come up no more, babe
He won't come up no more, baby
He won't come up no more, woo
He won't come up no more, sugar mama
He won't come up no more
Smell that burnin' fire, baby, burnin' in the sand
See that devil rise, mama
He sho' wanna take yo' hand, now
He sho' wanna take yo' hand, baby
He sho' wanna take yo' hand, woo
He sho' wanna take yo' hand, sugar mama
He sho' wanna take yo' hand
Oh harvest moon keep shinin' your light down on me
The lord reach out his hand; my soul floats on out to thee
I don't feel no pain, when they shot me down
Lay my body out, baby
They put me in the ground, so cold
They put me in the ground, baby
They put me in the ground, woo
They put me in the ground, sugar mama
They put me in the ground

Playground In My Mind
Playground In My Mind
Composer(s): Paul Vance; Lee Pockriss
Performer(s): Clint Holmes;
and various other artists
When this old world gets me down and there's no love to be found
I close my eyes and soon I find I'm in a playground in my mind
Where the children laugh and the children play
And we sing a song all day
My name is Michael, I've got a nickel, I've got a nickel shiny and new
I'm gonna buy me all kinds of candy, that's what I'm gonna do
In the wonders that I find in the playground in my mind
In a world that used to be, close your eyes and follow me
Where the children laugh and the children play
And we'll sing a song all day
My girl is Cindy, when we get married we're gonna have a baby or two
We're gonna let them visit their grandma, that's what we're gonna do
(tag lines concurrent with background singers singing verses two and four)
Living in a world that I left behind
Happy little children
In the playground in my mind
See the little children
See how they play in the playground in my mind

Canta Y Sé Feliz
Canta Y Sé Feliz
First performance by: Peret - 1974
Alegría, si quéreis tener
cantar, alegría de vivir
para disfrutar, cantar
canta y sé feliz
Si la canción que yo canto
no te llena de alegría
por más cosas que te diga
no sirve de ná'
Si no tienes quien te quiera
ni a quien decirle te quiero
buscar amor con dinero
no sirve de ná'
Si eres tan inteligente
que nadie puede entenderte
enfadarte con la gente
no sirve de ná'
Si al sol no puedes tumbarte
y en paz tomar una copa
decir que estás en Europa
no sirve de ná'
No sirve de ná'
no sirve de ná'
no sirve de ná'
cantar a la vida
Si quéreis tener
cantar, alegría de vivir
para disfrutar, cantar
canta y sé feliz
Cantar conmigo para tener
cantar, alegría de vivir
para disfrutar, cantar
canta y sé feliz
Si para olvidar las penas
necesitas tomar vino
no lo hagas buen amigo
no sirve de ná'
Si le paras a una rubia
cuando vas por la autopista
y luego es un estopista
no sirve de ná'
No sirve de ná'
no sirve de ná'
no sirve de ná'
cantar a la vida
Si quéreis tener
cantar, alegría de vivir
para disfrutar, cantar
canta y sé feliz
Cantar conmigo para tener
cantar, alegría de vivir
para disfrutar, cantar
canta y sé feliz
Cantar
Ay, si queréis tener, cantar
alegría sí, cantar
que para disfrutar, cantar
canta y sé feliz
Cantar conmigo para tener
cantar, alegría de vivir
para disfrutar, cantar
canta y sé feliz
Cantar
Si quéreis tener
cantar, alegría de vivir
para disfrutar, cantar
canta y sé feliz
Canta y sé feliz
Canta y sé feliz
Cantar y cantar

Playful Melody
Playful Melody
Composer(s): Mel Leven
All of the bells in the town are ringin'
Say can't you hear all the people singin'
'Cause of the way the band can play that playful melody
Oh how your happy feet will wander
Onto the dancin' floor down yonder
When they play that playful melody
Happy as you are
find a little star
Place it in the sky above
Make it big and bright
and its shiny light
has to light the night
For those who fall in love
You'll see a field full of leaf clover
Your happiness has to bubble over
'Cause of the way the band will play that playful melody
'Cause of the way the band will play that playful melody

Slippers With Wings
Slippers With Wings
Composer(s): Willy Dalton; Randall Hylton
Performer(s): Charlie Waller; James Easter; Sheri Easter
Susie was three when she first blessed our home
We loved her as much as a child of our own
Her little legs were all twisted and frail
It was never meant for Susie to be well
In her little bed time prayers she would say
Lord I know you've been busy today
But if you get some time please pretty please
Can I have some slippers with wings
She'd love to watch the kids in the playground nearby
They'd call Susie's name she would wave and say hi
Tiny teardrops would leave the window stained
It was never meant for Susie to complain
She would say to her brown puppy dog
Little Skippy I know it won't be long
Till I run and play tag like my friends
God sending me pretty slippers with wings
Susie turned four and her little legs turned weak
Pain took it's tole and the colour left her cheeks
Christmas eve came and we gathered around Susie's bed
And these are the last words she said
Mommy, mommy there's a man dressed in white
Daddy look he is shinny and bright
And he's holding some ribbons and some string
Around a pretty pair of slippers with wings
And if ever I am certain of one certain thing
Susie's wearing golden slippers with wings

'Cause I can't stand for what you're puttin down
Fooling around with every girl in town

Cause this is one fish you'll never ever hook
You left the others standing with their hearts in pain
And now you're coming round trying to do me the same

Winning every girl with that same old line

Long Live Love
Composer(s): Valerie Avon; Harold Spiro
First performance by: Olivia Newton-John - 1974
Long, long live love
Love is to care
Caring and sharing
Long, long live love
All the kids like ten tin soldiers in a row
Followed hand in hand
Sister Anna carrying the banner for the Sally Annie band
Singing songs of praise and glory
We all learn to love their story
Good things are coming to you
Glory, glory hallelujah
Long, long live love
As long as we live
Living and giving
Long, long live love
On a wet day, dry day, great to be alive day
Brother takes the stand
Cymbals ringing, everybody singing with the Sally Annie band
Just a band of happy people
Teaching, preaching love is equal
When you feel the spirit move you
Glory, glory hallelujah
Long, long live love
Love is to care
Caring and sharing
Long, long live love, love, love, love, love
Ohhh
Long, long live love
As long as we live
Living forgiving
Long, long live love

Playboy (Gene & Debbe)
Playboy
Composer(s): Gene Thomas
Performer(s): Gene & Debbe
Hey boy, to me you're just a playboy
Never mean a word you say, boy
I'm so afraid you'll go away and leave me lonely
Why, girl, do you believe a lie, girl
Why can't you see that you're my world
Believe me when I say to you, I love you only
I never knew that love could hurt me like this
Till you came along with your kiss
Then I fell under your spell
Knowing quite well that you would only hurt me
Gee, girl, why can't I make you see, girl
Just what you mean to me, girl
Then you would know I'd never go away without you
Oh, boy, I wish that I could know, boy
If what you say is so, boy
Then I would never care what they all say about you
I never knew that love could hurt me like this
Till you came along with your kiss
Then I fell knowing quite well
That someone would tell you I would only hurt you
Hey, now, does it matter what they say
Gonna love you anyway now
If you and I would fight together
I know we'll find love

Slip Slidin' Away
Slip Slidin' Away
Composer(s): Paul Simon
First release by: Paul Simon - 1977
Covered by multiple other artists
Slip slidin' away
Slip slidin' away
You know the nearer your destination
The more you're slip slidin' away
I know a man
He came from my home town
He wore his passion for his woman
Like a thorny crown
He said Delores
I live in fear
My love for you's so overpowering
I'm afraid that I will disappear
Slip slidin' away
Slip slidin' away
You know the nearer your destination
The more you're slip slidin' away
I know a woman
Became a wife
These are the very words she uses
To describe her life
She said a good day
Ain't got no rain
She said a bad day's when I lie in bed
And think of things that might have been
Slip slidin' away
Slip slidin' away
You know the nearer your destination
The more you're slip slidin' away
And I know a father
Who had a son
He longed to tell him all the reasons
For the things he'd done
He came a long way
Just to explain
He kissed his boy as he lay sleeping
Then he turned around and headed home again
Slip slidin' away
Slip slidin' away
You know the nearer your destination
The more you're slip slidin' away
God only knows
God makes his plan
The information's unavailable
To the mortal man
We work our jobs
Collect our pay
Believe we're gliding down the highway
When in fact we're slip slidin' away

Playa Girón
Playa Girón
Composer(s): Silvio Rodríguez
Performer(s): Silvio Rodríguez
Compañeros poetas
tomando en cuenta los últimos suceso
en la poesía, quisiera preguntar
me urge
¿qué tipo de adjetivos se deben usar
para hacer el poema de un barco
sin que se haga sentimental, fuera de la vanguardia
o evidente panfleto
si debo usar palabras como
Flota Cubana de Pesca y
«Playa Girón»?
Compañeros de música
tomando en cuenta esas politonales
y audaces canciones, quisiera preguntar
me urge
¿qué tipo de armonía se debe usar
para hacer la canción de este barco
con hombres de poca niñez, hombres y solamente
hombres sobre cubierta
hombres negros y rojos y azules
los hombres que pueblan el «Playa Girón»?
Compañeros de historia
tomando en cuenta lo implacable
que debe ser la verdad, quisiera preguntar
me urge tanto
¿qué debiera decir, qué fronteras debo respetar?
Si alguien roba comida
y después da la vida, ¿qué hacer?
¿Hasta donde debemos practicar las verdades?
¿Hasta donde sabemos?
Que escriban, pues, la historia, su historia
los hombres del «Playa Girón»

Keep Me Warm
Keep Me Warm
First performance by: Carita Holmström - 1974
Oh... my friend, stay a little while
Something's happening to our lives
By the time it's Summer
Frightened minds are Winter
I will free from their icy spell
Bring you fragrance from nature's well
I'll soothe away your worries
Show you how my love is
Say you'll stay and keep me warm
I need you - it's simple to say
I need you, I must be certain
If you go away, you know there's nothing for me
Oh... my friend, stay and sit with me
The nights ahead could be warm and free
The morning winds - I give you
I won't disappoint you
Say you'll stay and keep me warm
I need you - it's simple to say
I need you, I must be certain
If you go away, you know there's nothing for me
Oh... my friend, when the Summer comes
We'll be younger, we'll have our fun
I'll soothe away your worries
Show you how my love is
Say you'll stay and keep me warm
Say you'll stay and keep me warm
Stay and keep me warm
Stay and keep me warm

Play, Fiddle, Play
Composer(s): Arthur Altman; Jack Lawrence; Emery Deutsch
Performer(s): Arthur Tracy;
and various artists
Now the gypsy band rest their caravan
Where I hear concealed the song
Dusky magic falls, gypsy music calls
Oft to lovers one by one
A lover strums his fiddle while he hums his little song
Hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm, hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm
Hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm
Play, fiddler play, play my loved one a melody
Sing to my love while the stars swing above
Play, fiddle play, sing my loved one a rhapsody
Play on the strings of her heart
The campfires are gleaming as red as the sun
And my heart keeps dreaming, just dreaming of one
So softly, croon while the moon with our two hearts in harmony
Play, fiddle play to my love
Croon while the moon with our two hearts in harmony
Play, fiddle play to my love

What would I give for just a few moments
What would I give just to have you near
Tell me you would try to slip away somehow

Can you slip away, slip away

Oh love oh love, how sweet it is

Let me tell you how sweet it is
Now I know it's wrong
The things I ask you to do
But please believe me darling

But can you slip away
Without him knowin you're gone

Somewhere we both are not known

Play With Fire
Play With Fire
Composer(s): Mick Jagger; Nanker Phelge; Keith Richards
Performer(s): The Rolling Stones
Well you've got your diamonds
And you've got your pretty clothes
And your chaffeur drives your cars
You let everybody know
But dont play with me 'cause you're playing with fire
Your mother, she's an heiress
Owns a block in St. John's Wood
And your father would be there with her
If he only could
But dont play with me 'cause you're playing with fire
Your old man took her diamonds
And tiaras by the score
Now she gets her kicks in Stedley
Not in Knightsbridge anymore
So dont play with me 'cause you're playing with fire
Now you've got some diamonds
And you will get some others
But you'd better watch your step girl
Or start living with your mother
So dont play with me 'cause you're playing with fire
So dont play with me 'cause you're playing with fire

Sans Toi
Composer(s): Anne Gregory; Paul Koulak
First performance by: Martine Clémenceau - 1973
Tout le monde autour de chose parlait d'amour
Il fallait bien que cela m'arrive un jour
J'attendais, je t'espérais, j'espérais, je te cherchais
Mais c'est fou, tu existais
L'aventure, c'était toi, et je comprends déjà
Sans toi, à quoi sert d'être libre?
Sans toi, dis, pourquoi faut-il vivre?
Tu t'en vas (tu t'en vas) ma vie part avec toi
Tu reviens (tu reviens) j'ai le ciel dans mes mains
C'est le vide, le vide autour de moi
Sans toi, sans toi
Comme il faisait bon ce soir dans le jardin
J'aime tes secrets et je n'ai peur de rien
Sans toi, à quoi sert d'être libre?
Sans toi, dis, pourquoi faut-il vivre?
Tu t'en vas (tu t'en vas) ma vie part avec toi
Tu reviens (tu reviens) j'ai le ciel dans mes mains
C'est le vide, le vide autour de moi
Sans toi
Tu t'en vas (tu t'en vas) ma vie part avec toi
Tu reviens (tu reviens) j'ai le ciel dans mes mains
C'est le vide, le vide autour de moi
Sans toi

Composer(s): Phil Ehart; Danny Flower;
Rob Frazier; Kerry Livgren; Rich Williams
Performer(s): Kansas
You think that something's happening
And it's bigger than your life
But it's only what you're hearing
Will you still remember
When the morning light has come
Will the songs be playing over and over
Till you do it all over again
Chorus:
Play, play the game tonight
Can you tell me if it's wrong or right
Is it worth the time, is it worth the price
Do you see yourself in the white spotlight
Then play the game tonight
And when the curtains open
To the roaring of the crowd
You will feel it all around you
Then it finally happens
And it's all come true for you
And the songs are playing over and over
Till you do it all over again
Chorus

Tell it everywhere you go
Saw you walking
Down by Ladbroke Grove this morning
Saw you walking
Down by Ladbroke Grove this morning
Catching pebbles for some sandy beach
You're out of reach
Saw you early this morning
With your brand new boy and your Cadillac
Saw you early this morning
With your brand new boy and your Cadillac
You're gone for something
And I know you won't be back
I know you're dying, baby
And I know you know it, too

And I know you know it, too
Everytime I see you
I just don't know what to do
